Check out the Santa Maria Rodeo

All week, leading up to the rodeo, there are other fun-filled events, including barbecues, dances and a banquet. The rodeo is a four day extravaganza held at the Elks/Unocal Event Center.
During each three-hour performance you’ll enjoy six adrenaline-rushing PRCA events, including bull and bronc riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, bareback riding, WPRA barrel racing, local team roping, and mutton bustin’. You’ll experience rodeo’s top announcers, bull riders, barrelmen and stock contractors.
Sunday is the finals, when top cowboys will compete for the championship.
